LPG Direct Benefit Transfer A sum of Rs. 41 Crore has been transferred in
the hands of LPG Consumers in these districts. The District-wise details are provided in the annexure.

Government of India launched Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG
(DBTL) scheme in 18 high Aadhaar coverage
districts benefitting 67 lakh consumers. The scheme aims to
curb leakages and prevent black-marketing and provide subsidy to consumers in
their bank accounts. In these 18 districts the subsidy on LPG cylinders is being
provided directly to consumers in their Aadhaar linked bank accounts.

As per the scheme all Aadhaar linked domestic LPG
consumers are getting an advance in their bank account
(6 lakhs transactions so far) as soon as they book their first
subsidized cylinder, before delivery.

On the delivery of the first subsidized cylinder, the next
subsidy (4 lakhs transactions so far) again gets transferred in their
bank account, which is available for the purchase of next subsidized cylinder
at market rate.

Following steps have been taken to
increase Aadhaar seeding in LPG and Banks:

· Advertisements released in leading dailies on
13th and 14th June, 2013.

· Drop boxes to collect Bank-Aadhaar linking forms
are placed at all distributorships/ROs. (Total of 1, 99,029 forms collected and
handed over to Lead District Managers for Banks)

· Bank-Aadhaar linking forms being distributed to
customers who have not yet linked Aadhaar to their bank accounts.
